What you need
Steps
Park on level ground and switch the engine off. Turn the ignition to the run position so the dash lights up, but do not start the engine.
Use the button on the dash to cycle through the driver information displays until the oil life percentage shows on the screen.
Press and hold the reset button while the oil life reading is on screen. Keep holding until the percentage changes.
Release the button when the display shows 100 percent or the oil life has clearly reset.
Switch the ignition off, then back on, and check the oil life display again to confirm the new value stuck.
Tips and common mistakes
Reset the monitor only after you have actually changed the oil and filter, or the reminder will be wrong.
If the reading will not reset, check you are holding the button long enough and that the oil life screen is still displayed.
Write the date and mileage on the oil filter or a note so you know when the next change is due.
Questions
Do I need a scan tool to reset the oil life?
No. On the C5 and C6 you can reset it from the dash buttons with the ignition in the run position.
Will resetting the monitor damage anything?
No. It only clears the reminder. The car does not measure oil quality, so the reset is only as good as your last oil change.
How often should I change the oil?
Follow the interval in your owner's manual and check the level regularly between changes.
